iN'HAL E R f si ncimcn'rion ta in part of Letters PatentNo. 604,935, dated m 31,- 189 8.

- Application filed May 13,1897- citizen of the United Sta'tes, residing in Boston, cou nty of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts; have invented an-Inhaler, of. which the following'is'aspecification.

The object of my invention isto provide a 'simple, co.nvenient,and efficient inhaler which can be carried about the person andavailable to use at any time. .It is so constructed that the 'inhalant'in liquid form can be carried in r itwithout spilling and be ready for use when 1 needed. Either end is adapted for its special use with equalefiect, It is easily filled, has no stopples, and yet there is no appreciable evaporation of the medicament when not in use. 1 Thereare no outside complications, and it is so arranged and proportioned asto get the most'compl'ete medicinal etfect. My in- .hale'r' can be'made of; glass, metal, vulcanized material, or: any-materials that can be formed and joined, as hereinafter described. I

The inhaler consists of an elongated eggshapediglass shell (1,, whose diameter increases fromthe ends towardthe center ywith open-- ings' d' and e atrespective ends. Into the opening d is sealed tube b, with its opening more-or less toward side of shell a. Into'the opening e is sealed tube a, with its opening more or less toward side of shell a and opposite tube b. The tubes b and care of such length that a isufiicient quantity, of the inhalant will be retained in the" shell a in all sum No. 535,405. 'no model.)

I positions and the diameter of the tubes may. 1

be such as the medicamentmay require. The 35 medicament is shown in the lower partof. 'shellaat'h, The operation is as follows: When e is placed in the mouth and inhalation begins, theair is drawn through opening ('1 and tube b, creato inga strong current over the surface of h, I within the shell a, causing rapid eyaporatiom-Q' which is raunwhh t e air th ough chand; opening e int'o thelungs, the shape olfith'e shell and arrangement of the tubes effecting 45- I the most complete' medication of the air, within the shut The opening d is intended for use through the nostrils," when the same results are obtained'in an opposite direction, The best results are secured when the incom- 5o ing air is projected in the, direction of the h .flllid'.' My inhaler-is replenished through opening e, which is slightly enlarged for that purpose.

I claim 1 7 An inhaler, consisting ofi-anelongated-shell, of greater diameter at the center than at the ends, having tubes extending from the opposite ends inwardly-to the larger diame-i ter, the inner ends of said tubes being curved 6c in opposite directions, substantially as described.
